Abstract

A method of accessing a network from an embedded device is provided. Information is provided, specifying corresponding relationship between at least one category notation and at least one data type. A string is received. At least one keyword is extracted from the string. A category notation is extracted from the string. Addresses of web pages containing the keyword are searched from a database storing the addresses of web pages containing data type corresponding to the category notation.

Claims

1. A method of accessing a network from an embedded device, comprising:

providing information specifying corresponding relationship between at least one category notation and at least one data type;

receiving a string;

extracting at least one keyword from the string; and

extracting a category notation from the string;

wherein addresses of web pages containing the keyword are searched from a database storing addresses of web pages containing the data type corresponding to the category notation.

2. The method of claim 1, further providing a table specifying a plurality of category notations, each of which corresponds to the database storing addresses of web pages containing one of video data, audio data, tone ring data, or image data.

3. The method of claim 1, further providing at least a database storing addresses of web pages comprises data corresponding to the category notation.

4. The method of claim 1, further filtering out addresses of duplicated web pages from the searched addresses of web pages.

5. The method of claim 4, further assembling the filtered addresses of web pages, displaying addresses of the searched web pages.

6. An embedded device connecting to a server via a network, comprising:

a user interface receiving a string;

a storage unit storing information specifying a corresponding relationship between at least one category notation and at least one data type; and

a processor extracting at least one keyword from the string and extracting a category notation from the string, wherein addresses of web pages containing the keyword are searched from a database storing addresses of web pages containing the data type corresponding to the category notation.

7. The embedded device of claim 6, wherein the storage unit further storing a table specifying a plurality of category notations, each of which corresponds to the database storing addresses of web pages containing one of video data, audio data, tone ring data, or image data.

8. The embedded device of claim 6, wherein the server filters out addresses of duplicated web pages from the addresses of web pages located thereby.

9. The embedded device of claim 8, wherein the server assembles the filtered addresses of web pages to direct the user interface of the embedded device to display addresses of the searched web pages.

10. A server providing web search service to an embedded device, comprising:

an interface receiving a string from the embedded device;

a storage unit storing information specifying corresponding relationship between at least one category notation and at least one data type;

and

a processor extracting at least one keyword from the string and extracting a category notation from the string, wherein addresses of web pages containing the keyword are searched from a database storing addresses of web pages containing the data type corresponding to the category notation.

11. The server of claim 10, wherein the storage unit further storing a table specifying a plurality of category notations, each of which corresponds to the database storing addresses of web pages containing one of video data, audio data, tone ring data, or image data.

12. The server of claim 10, wherein the processor further filters out addresses of duplicated web pages from the addresses of web pages located by the searching.

13. The server of claim 12, wherein the processor further assembles the filtered addresses of web pages to direct the embedded device to display addresses of the searched web pages.
